BriefCam’s “Transforming Video into Actionable Intelligence” allows law enforcement and retailers to secretly identify people by their gender, body size, color, direction, speed and more.

What is really disturbing about the video, is no one knows where it is being used and by whom. BriefCam’s limited disclosures claim it is being used by top law enforcement agencies and governments, but that’s it.

NEC’s NeoFace Watch software is being showcased at the International Security Expo 2018. NEC admits facial recognition is integral to smart cities.

NEC and NPS will showcase a vast range of safety solutions to overcome challenges facing cities; including facial recognition system, automated fingerprint identification system (AFIS), CONNECT police platform, and video analytics solution. The solutions will form part of Safer Cities that NEC and NPS aim to build, to contribute to realize a safe and secure society for all citizens.

BriefCam, like NEC, is so good at spying on everyone that even Homeland Security is impressed.

Aaron Miller, Director of the Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness for the City of New Orleans said,

with cameras covering the city and BriefCam’s unique ability to rapidly pin-point objects of interest, incidents can be solved more quickly, and trends in pedestrian, crowd or traffic behavior can be uncovered in a matter of minutes.

Police smartphones can access surveillance cameras

At approximately 6:00 into the video Hartford Police Sergeant John Michael O’Hare reveals that police can access surveillance cameras in real-time using their smartphones.

BriefCam’s entire business model appears to be focused on one thing: surveillance. Perhaps nothing says that better than suggesting that stores use surveillance cameras, Video Synopsis and Data Fusion to identify people walking by their storefront.

How many people pass the Duty-Free storefront? Of those, how many people enter the store? When correlated with the store’s revenue data, this information could help operations managers understand how many of those store entries turned into actual sales. (Source)
